The ESP Origins deck is based on the ESP cards designed by Karl Zener and made popular by Joseph Banks in the early 20th century. Your spectators will have no doubts about their authenticity. The back was designed by Sam Hayles, a world renowned graphic artist who specialises in playing card designs. The marking on the backs of the cards is efficient and effective. You can read it easily, but your spectators will not even suspect the cards are marked, much less be able to see the marks. In addition to the ESP cards, the deck includes all of the cards needed to perform the 10 routines described in the booklet, along with several bonus cards that you can put to use in your own mentalism routines.

I own several ESP decks and this one is without a doubt the best one available. The cards are very
high quality and feel just like bicycles. The effects included in the book are very strong and fun
to perform. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning about ESP card magic.

As far as I am aware, these are the best ESP cards on the market. The design on them (all-seeing
eye) is the original reason I was interested in buying them. They look very mystical with that
design. I always hand these out to spectators for inspection and ever nobody finds any markings. The
quality is very, very good. I do not riffle shuffle these or do anything that bends the cards much
because they are so nice. The instruction booklet that comes with it has many colorful diagrams with
instructions from top names in mentalism. If you are not looking for anything fancy, then the Royal
brand of ESP cards might be better for you to save money.
